Your Opinion: Our leaders' lies

Dear Editor:

"Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it."

This propaganda theory has been attributed to numerous dictators.

It is an interesting and timely theory considering the direction our country has moved in the past two years.

Consider the following:

Separate immigrant children their from parents and place the children in dormitories away from their parents. It is necessary for our national security.

Ignore and deny research and undisputed science regarding climate change. It is not true.

Be patriotic by standing during the National Anthem. Taking a knee and praying for our future is unpatriotic.

America First. This is what we stand for right or wrong.

The NRA supports "common sense" gun control policies to eliminate gun violence in cities, schools and our country. This is what the Second Amendment says.

Use a different set of standards when dealing with racially, culturally different people. It is necessary.

Your health care coverage is improving. Trust us.

Tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy benefit the whole economy. Believe us.

We can look at the above problems and policies and surely find a better way to deal with them.

We need to put partisan politics and economic special interests aside.

We need to follow the ideals and words enshrined in our Constitution.

God bless America!
